Top Democrats send letter to President Trump demanding he develop and brief Congress on a plan to stop ISIS from returning in Syria now that most of the American forces have been pulled out of the country.
“It is clear that ISIS continues, they are not vanquished, they are not over,” Schumer, D-N.Y., told reporters after that briefing. “I believe that the administration has to do more to make sure the existing ISIS prisoners are guarded, to track down those who have escaped, and to have a far more concrete plan on how we deal with ISIS in the future.”
The Thursday letter asks the Trump administration to report to Congress on the number of known ISIS fighters remaining in Syria and the number of prisoners who were released and are still missing, and to provide a “plan to stabilize areas formerly controlled by ISIS, including efforts to support, develop, and expand local governance structures.
